GENERAL INFORMATION
The Fantasea FSD-1100 Housing

This housing is ideal for outdoor and underwater photographers who enjoy the camera’s automatic exposure features for capturing fast action pictures easily and creatively. The FSD-1100 housing ensures easy handling and accurate access to camera functions through the critical placement of push-button controls and a compact design. The FSD-1100 housing provides access to all control functions: On / Off, Shutter Release, Zoom In / Out, Mode Switch, Menu, Display, FUNC / Set, Macro / Infinity, ISO, Shooting Mode / Erase and Flash, and has a built in Flash Diffuser and an anti-glare hood over the LCD screen.
Fantasea FSD-1100 Uses
